"We wish to control big business so as to secure among other things good wages for the wage-workers and reasonable prices for the consumers.
Wherever in any business the prosperity of the business man is obtained by lowering the wages of his workmen and charging an excessive price to the consumers we wish to interfere and stop such practices."
– Teddy Roosevelt, speech at the convention of the National Progressive Party in August of 1912
